Actually, I agree with you on the matter of fragmented providers. Before I got Apple TV and Netflix I was in the strange position of having far fewer movies available to watch than I had 20 years ago. It's worse for my parents, who can't just walk over to Blockbuster any more and rent a couple movies. Shaw on Demand has a terrible selection. I could set them up with an Apple TV, an iTunes account, and a Netflix subscription, but that would be a fair chunk of change for tools they wouldn't understand how to use. Cobbling together access to a movie and TV show selection comparable to a decent-sized Blockbuster circa 2002 is a genuine pain in the ass. I just think once you've got it sorted, you have a massive selection at a good price.
